HISTORY OF CABOTVILLE.


CABOTVILLE is a manufacturing village of Springfield, situated on the Chicopee River, near its junction with the Connecticut, and about three miles north of the western railroad station, with which it is connected by the Northampton road, which is now in operation to this place.


The first impulse to business in this place was given by a company belonging principally in Boston, who se- lected it as a place for manufacturing. About the year 1831, a canal was commenced for manufacturing pur- poses; there was then only a dilapidated saw and grist- mill, and a few houses, where is now a village of up- ward of four thousand inhabitants. The first purchases were made by the Springfield Canal Co., and consisted in so much land as would secure the water power of the Chicopee river, which falls at this place upward of twenty feet. A canal having been prepared, and build- ings erected for making machinery; water power was offered for sale, and mills and machinery ready for manu- facturing, were built by the Canal company. About the year 1833, the Cabot Co. commenced operations for manufacturing cotton cloth. with a capital of $500,000. Since that time, the Ames Co. commenced with a capi- tal of $75,000, for the manufacture of cutlery, machinery, &c. The Perkins Manufacturing Co. for cotton cloth, capital $500,000, and the Dwight Manufacturing Co. for cotton cloth, with a capital of $700,000. In addition to these, there is a shuttle and bobbin manufactory, and a saw and grist mill which take power from the river.
